FAQ
Q: What are the differences between U-Sensor and R-Sensor?
A:
U-Sensors
U-Sensors are used on each pallet to monitor the product itself. U-Sensors
are disposable. The life time of a U-sensor is up to 160 days (at 0ºC).
Resident Sensors
Resident Sensors are used for environmental monitoring and as repeaters
to boost UGS reception.
Resident Sensors are multiuse. Each resident Sensor holds two AAA
batteries which can be replaced. The life time of a Resident Sensor is up
to one year.
Q: When should I use R-Sensor?
A:
Resident Sensors are used when:
An environmental monitoring is required.
The area that needs to be covered has blockers. In this case
Resident Sensors can be used as repeaters to boost UGS reception.
Q: What happens to the measurements when a USG is not
available and sensors are active?
A:
As long as there is no connection with a gateway, all data measured by
the Wireless Sensors is stored in each sensor's memory. Once the sensors
identify a gateway to connect to, all data is transmitted to the gateway.
Q: Can I get an Ethernet USG with GPS option?
A:
The GPS option is available only for cellular USG units.
Q: How do I decide if to use Ethernet USG or Cellular USG in my
application?
A:
Ethernet USG is used when there is a stationary installation and the
USG is not mobile (like in a warehouse) and a LAN connection is available
in the monitored site.
